Disaster Management and Data Recovery

By admin Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Disaster Management is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. Too many organizations have been unprepared when the unexpected happens. So every organization is to deal with potential disasters because disasters can loss of:

• Data
• Custom Applications
• Business Continuity
• Customer Trust
• Reliability

Disasters affect your revenue, not just because of what needs to be spent to get back online, but also how much you are losing during the downtime.

What to do?
Data for every organization is the main assets and every organization spends lot of money in security or avoiding data confidentiality. So this is the biggest threat for every organization so to avoid this we should have a perfect plan. Web Hosting organizations should take backup’s of data, stored either on a hard disk or a removable tape. Having backups available can help you restore from relatively common disasters such as hard drive failure, file corruption, and accidental deletion.
Removing backup tapes from the data center and into a secure offsite facility helps to protect your data against less likely larger-scale disasters such as flood and fire. So every organization should follow these kinds of precautions and they can serve their customers in healthy manners and it will also increase customer trust and goodwill for you .

Linux Hosting Vs. Windows Hosting….

By admin Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

As a hosting provider always we discuss with client about the difference between windows Hosting and Linux Hosting, The user list is very enormous who can’t differentiate it and always trying to ask the difference and why should I move to Windows or Linux hosting. So I think, I have to post an article on this to make them aware about the differences.

You’ve come up with your web design and content. There’s just one more detail you have to take care of, even before choosing a hosting company. That’s deciding what kind of hosting you want. There are a number of aspects to this, but there are two options that stand out in stark contrast: Linux and Windows.You need to decide if you want to go with a Linux hosting company or Windows hosting company. However, you have no idea on how Linux and Windows hosting differ. Forget about research. It’s time consuming, and you just don’t have the time.

Both Linux and Windows have their strengths and weaknesses. They also have strong followers who swear their product is better than the other. Read and listen to what others have to say, but don’t be swayed by them. After all, they are just opinions.

Before choosing you hosting platform you have to evaluate your website requirement and how it would be compatible to host your file that will give you a effective and great performance. For example, will you want to build an online chat community on your website? If this is the case, look into Windows hosting, or if your programming is in Windows based platform than you should go for Microsoft platform i.e. windows hosting.

If you are looking for some blogging or a publishing platform such as WordPress….OR If you are creating your web application on PHP or mysql platform than the compatibility would be great and you should think about Linux hosting, Other areas you might be concerned about are security, stability, or performance.

As previously stated, Linux hosting and Windows hosting have their good and bad points. Don’t get bogged down by the details. Let this article be your guide. You’ll probably want to consult with your colleagues or read other materials, and then make your decision.

6 Major Tips to reduce your Bandwidth and increase website efficiency

By admin Monday, June 29th, 2009

i) Use CSS Text Instead of Images

Images make your Web pages slower and consumes a lot of bandwidth of your server. Instead of using a background image, use the CSS code. For example if you want to use plain red background in your website then use CSS code background-color:#F00 instead of a red-bg.jpg. With CSS, you can set the background color or background image of any CSS element.

ii) Optimize your website images

Most of the bandwidth is utilized by web site images, so before uploading any image at you website optimize your images for the internet and shrink their sizes as well, never use bitmap files (.bmp) as they are HUGE (mostly in MBs). You should use jpeg (.jpg) or gif (.gif) files for images as these are optimized for the internet.

iii) Compress your CSS by shorthand CSS properties

CSS shorthand properties are great! They’re a great way to reduce the amount of code contained in a CSS document, allowing for faster download times and easier editing.

iv)  Remove Unnecessary HTML Code, Tags and White Spaces

Compress your page size by cutting extra white spaces in your HTML files, because every extra character means extra page size.

Wordoff is a simple and useful tool that lets you remove unnecessary tags and HTML code.

v) Use AJAX and Java Script Library

Ajax is a technology which communicated with your server without reloading the page. If you reload your page again and again that will use extra bandwidth and resources.

vi) Website Caching

Caching is a method of retrieving data from a ready storage (cache) instead of using resources to generate it every time the same information is needed. Enable caching on your website if it’s not dynamic, will allow the end users computer to read from your server once in a while, the rest of the times it will read from its own backup copies until they expire.
